Stefano Paris at the November 19th, 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show unveiling of the MINIE. If you’ve been following the BMW MINIE program unveiled officially on November 19th, 2008 at the Los Angeles Auto Show you’ll know the process for being selected as a potential MINIE driver is a multistep one.
The project is funded as part of the showcase “Electromobility Connects” Bavaria-Saxony by the federal government. BMW has already gathered data from more than 16 million kilometers (10 million miles) of testing with the MINIE (its first EV model) and about 5 million kilometers (3 million miles) with the BMW ActiveE (its second EV model).
BMW selected the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2014 in Las Vegas as a venue at which to preview future developments and new applications of connected vehicle technology for series-produced vehicles. At CES 2014, BMW is presenting vehicle functions on the electronic wristwatch as part of a research application.
The ClipperCreek EVSE is fully integrated with the Silver Spring Smart Energy Platform and enables end-to-end connectivity from the utility back office to the smart charging station. ClipperCreek also provides chargers to power Mercedes, GM and Nissan vehicles.
DTU had to clear regulatory hurdles to import the eBox, which is not homologated in Europe, but the university needed an eBox specifically because it is equipped with AC Propulsion’s integrated charger, which allows grid-connected charging and discharging at up to 18 kW.
The BMW Concept ActiveE follows the all-electric MINIE as the second large-scale electric vehicle test program to be conducted in the hands of interested customers. The field tests with the MINIE as part of Project i in the US and Europe have already provided insights into the demands required of future production electric vehicles.
—Cliff Fietzek, Manager Connected eMobility at BMW of North America. In 2011, batteries which were previously used in the MINIE test fleet were successfully implemented in a stationary project. In 2013, BMW and the University of San Diego installed a micro grid application with Battery 2nd Life MINIE batteries.
The feedback from customers testing the MINIE and the BMW ActiveE will be fed directly into series production of the MCV, which the BMW Group will be launching under a new sub-brand in 2013. Unlike the MINIE, the BMW ActiveE features a distinctive “intermediate position” of the accelerator pedal, allowing the vehicle to “glide”.
And we intend to stimulate and grow new connections - a whole lot of them. For instance, when you go to Chris Payne’s fantastic Revenge of the Electric Car page, check out left side for the topics it digs into, like: Electric Cars (no surprise), Tesla , MiniE , Volt. Starting right now.
BMW says it is situated to branch into complementary electric vehicle markets because of its experience with the MINIE and ActiveE field trials. ParkNow LongTerm connects BMW i drivers to dedicated parking spaces with charging stations in parking garages on a long-term based rental in select cities. HOME CHARGING.

Through BMW ConnectedDrive, which enables connectivity between cars, drivers and their surroundings, and a special BMW ChargeForward smartphone app, participating BMW drivers will be able to opt-out of any smart charging request, based on their driving preferences.
s or plug-in hybrids like the Chevrolet Volt, electric Smart Fortwo and Ford Transit Connect battery-electric van can get more information about the free chargers on the Internet or by visiting dealerships. We’re excited about being in New York, because aside from the MiniE program and the Tesla Roadster, it hasn’t seen much E.V.
They even had a real plug connected to their toy car on the exhibit hall. Same truth of engineers who have actually talked to real drivers is in evidence with the BMW Mini-E. This one might actually get MORE than 230 mpg in the city seeing as how it has no doors, windows, seats, any interior, hood, roof, underbody or trunk.
